The school performs well on standardized tests in English Language Arts, with 72.1% of 7th graders and 46.2% of 8th graders proficient or better, outperforming the state averages.

Memorial Middle School's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking highly for African American and Hispanic students but lower for White students and students with special needs.

While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, its performance does not always align with this level of funding. Compared to nearby schools, Memorial Middle School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the Margaret L. Vetter School, but lags behind higher-performing schools in the surrounding districts, such as Knollwood School in Fair Haven and Markham Place School in Little Silver.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
